DVD Reviews of Dali in New York
DVD Review: not that in depth about Dali, the person
Summary: 3 Stars
This film is all in black and white. Mainly short, casual interviews with Dali, moving images over his paintings (again, in grainy black and white), and a few shots of Dali doing artsy things.
The beginning is mainly jerky (annoying now but perhaps edgy back then?) shaky camera angles of, you guessed it, Dali in New York. One un-expected surprise were the shots of parties and people talking which give you a glimpse into the art scene back when.
The DVD has no main menu (well, I couldnt find it), and I couldn't get subtitles to turn on. Dali spoke in a thick accent so it was hard to hear what he was saying (this is when I really wished there were subtitles). There is no narration and not THAT much talking going on in the first place so dont expect a lot of information to be passed onto you. The thing that makes this documentary great is WHEN it was made. But you dont really get a glimpse into who Dali is (Watch this, then watch Bukowski - Born Into This and you'll see what I'm talking about).
I did like how we saw Dali try to contrive these artistic experiences (with the egg/money/ants scene, crashing the sculpture onto the pavement, and insisting on that tiger/sphinx animal being around him) - I feel like that showed me the extravagances of the artist, specifically Dali's, mind. The film mentions Dali's admiration for science/molecules. The credits are cute with Dali drawing a scene to live music. 2.5 stars.
